Chapter 508 Fatal Counterattack ([-]rd)
The time on the big screen of the stadium has reached the 91st and a half minutes, that is to say, there are only the last 3 and a half minutes of the game. The fans in the stands except AC Milan booed, and their goal is the AC Milan players who are holding the ball in the midfield.
The fans think it is normal to be equalized by the opponent in the 89th minute, but you can't completely drag the defense to the end because you are afraid of Valencia's momentum?This is completely ignoring their existence!
Of course, the fans of AC Milan don’t think so. They think that the team should really avoid their edge at this time. After all, Valencia scored two goals in the last 6 minutes of the game, and their morale is high.
AC Milan concentrates the possession of the ball in the midfield, and their fans cheer loudly and act as a solid backing for the team. However, how can only more than 2 AC Milan fans beat the voice of more than 5 people?
So, the result is clear at a glance.
The game time is getting less and less, Pirlo is relatively stable in holding the ball near the center circle, but with David Villa's active press behind him, so he can only pass back, but there are Valencia's offensive players in both ribs, so he can't pass, so he can only swing the ball back to goalkeeper Dida.
Morientes was brought in in the second half, and he was very fit, rushing towards Dida as if his stamina didn't cost money.
Seeing Morientes speeding up like crazy, Dida didn't dare to neglect and could only choose to kick off with a big kick.
But their luck was good. The football was won by Gilardino. His header was ferried to the veteran Seedorf who has not much physical fitness, but he still has the physical ability to catch and pass the ball.
In this way, AC Milan successfully controlled the football under their feet for more than half a minute. The time on the big screen has reached 92 minutes and 09 seconds, which means that the remaining time is only 2 minutes and 51 seconds.
At this moment, the referee also took the opportunity to look down at the time on his wrist.
Seeing this situation, Flores on the sidelines also shouted loudly to the players on the sidelines to stick to their defensive position and dragging the game into overtime is also a good choice.
But Ai Luo was unwilling. Looking at the players of AC Milan who were wasting time by conducting non-stop, he wanted to snatch the ball and counterattack quickly to kill AC Milan before the end of the game.
※※※
Many neutral fans in the stands also stopped booing AC Milan's players in the last 2 minutes of the game. Instead, they chose to leave their seats as before the intermission, and went outside the stadium to buy some burgers and Coke to fill their stomachs and quench their thirst.
After nine 10 minutes, there is no intermission. After a break of 2 minutes, the game will continue after changing sides.
These 45 minutes of shouting wasted a lot of their physical strength, especially those shirtless middle-aged men who had a greater demand for food energy.
Although the head coach expressed his willingness to enter overtime on the sidelines, a few players on the court were still unwilling. Among them, Aiello, David Silva, David Villa, and Vicente and Morientes, who had just been replaced, were offensive players and should work hard to rewrite the score.
Defense, that's what defensive players do.
Flores looked at the aggressive team members and shook his head, but he didn't stop him.
However, at this time, AC Milan stretched the formation very wide, and under the forward leadership of Aiello, they slowly pushed towards the midfield.
Pirlo is the core of AC Milan's midfield and the soul of the entire team. David Villa ran to Pirlo who was holding the ball as before, while Aiello and David Silva blocked the pass between the two full-backs. Vicente and Morientes slowly ran towards Maldini and Nesta.
As the Valencia players moved forward, the fans who had stopped shouting opened their voices again, and overwhelming cheers flooded the stadium from all sides of the stands.
Pirlo dunked the ball back with his right foot, and opened his right arm naturally, blocking David Villa behind him to prevent him from going forward to steal the ball, but he soon found that he had no passing route.
So at this time, he subconsciously wants to pass the ball back to Dida, but his excellent vision sees that Ai Luo is ready to go. As long as he passes the ball back, he will definitely chase the ball like a cheetah. The old Dida will definitely not be able to catch up.
In other words, Pirlo's choice can only be to drive the ball to the sideline with a big foot, or twist the waist to pass the ball to his own attacking direction, but no matter which method he chooses, he will basically give control of the football to the opponent.
Seeing that David Villa is getting tighter and tighter, it is better to twist the ball and drive the ball to the attacking direction of the side than to drive the ball directly out of the sideline and give it to Valencia.
After thinking clearly, Pirlo put David Villa on his right arm, and then moved the ball to the right side of his body, twisted his waist before the latter could react, and drove the ball forward.
※※※
"I really didn't expect Pirlo to be so embarrassing." The local commentator in Italy explained: "It's good that he made a decisive decision. Otherwise, if he keeps bringing the ball back, the chances of being intercepted will be even greater. If Valencia's offensive team intercepts the ball and directly counterattacks, it will be terrible..."
The football flew towards Valencia's half.
Since Pirlo's kick had no target, but only a general direction, Valencia's defense was on the right.
That's where Kaka is. Moretti looked up at the flying football, and adjusted his pace accordingly, waiting for the moment the football fell to push the ball forward, but when he was about to jump up, something unexpected happened.
At the last take-off, he didn't stand still and slid onto the turf. Kaka obviously didn't expect Moretti's mistake this time, so his reaction was half a beat slower, but it didn't waste this opportunity completely, and he turned around and chased the ball quickly.
Seeing this, the Valencia players rushed back to defend. When Marchena approached Kaka, Kaka also caught the football. At this moment, Kaka used the flexibility of his ankle to knock the ball back on the outside of his right ankle, then turned around 90 degrees, and stuck Marchena behind him.
Marchena just wanted to knock Kakala to the ground, but suddenly realized that he had already received a yellow card, so he didn't start, but continued to follow Kaka, looking for opportunities to steal the ball.
Valencia's players rushed back to defend, and AC Milan's players seemed to have sensed a chance. Anyway, there is only so much time left in the game. Even if this attack fails, it will not affect the game's entry into overtime. If the ball is scored at the last moment, then overtime is completely unnecessary!
Maybe I can become a hero in the history of the team!
With this in mind, AC Milan's two wing and center defenders began to advance forward.
※※※
Kaka used the change of his ankle to dunk the ball back and prepared to choose an inside cut, but because Albiol stood at the corner of the left penalty area and completely cut off his inside angle, he could only choose lateral dribbling.
During the period of lateral dribbling, Kaka turned his head and glanced at his teammates, and found that there was still a distance, and with Ballack moving over here, Kaka could only choose long-range shots or pass back.
But there is only such a little time left in the game, the opportunity is no longer lost, it is better to take a chance!
After Kaka made up his mind, facing Albiol's defense, he directly used the outer instep of his right foot to continue to swipe the ball horizontally, dodged the angle, and shot directly from a long distance!
Albiol stretched his legs a bit slower, but Ballack was in time. The football shot by Kaka hit Ballack's feet, lost more than half of his strength, and flew towards the goal.
Of course, this time it was not like AC Milan's goal. After the football hit Ballack's feet, a high parabola was drawn. Wang Xiaolei, who was standing on the small penalty area line, looked up at the flying football and slowly played back.
Kaka shook her head in disappointment.
At the same time, the same is true for the AC Milan players on the field.
※※※
The AC Milan midfielders shook their heads, then turned around and ran back slowly, but Wang Xiaolei accelerated on the spot. When he was about to run to the penalty area line, he threw the ball forward with his left hand, and then volleyed up with his right foot.
This can ensure that the kicked football parabola is very flat and very fast.
The attention of the fans in the stands turned from Wang Xiaolei to the football in the air, which was Valencia's attacking left. Seeing where the football landed, the die-hard Valencia fans shouted fiercely.
Many AC Milan players couldn't run anymore, so they just looked up at the football and headed towards the right side of their defense. Is there anyone there?
But the sudden cheers that were eight degrees higher made them look over subconsciously, and this look almost scared the souls of AC Milan's defenders.
Especially Gattuso and Ambrosini, who are responsible for the midfield defense. In the past 90 minutes of the game, if anyone has the deepest awareness of Aiello's danger, it is estimated that there are only these two defensive midfielders.
Just now they only focused on running forward, and the entire defensive formation was messed up. They didn't expect Kaka to end the rare offensive opportunity so hastily, and they were not particularly active when running back. In addition, Gattuso and Ambrosini both ran to the right side of the defense, and the defensive position became even more chaotic, which directly led to a large gap on the left side of their defense.
Ai Luo's speed is very fast, and he runs very powerfully. It is impossible to see that he is a player who has run for 10 minutes. The fans sitting in the main and auxiliary stands of the stadium can see it most clearly, and basically cannot see his calf swinging clearly.
Seeing Aiello sweeping across the green field like the wind, the AC Milan supporters felt chilled, as if the accelerated Aiello was not chasing, but directly sending the ball into the net.
In two to three seconds, Ai Luo caught up with the football, and Nesta was also closer to the football. He knew that he was not as fast as Ai Luo, so he only waited for the moment Ai Luo speeded up to tackle the ball. Of course, he was also prepared with both hands.
"Three against four in the frontcourt!!" Andy Gray exclaimed.
